Post by MCB »

Goldworkers List (Section VII).

Joseph Newcomb
He was christened at St Bride, Fleet Street in 1783, the son of Joseph (Grimwade p.367) and Rebecca Newcomb of Little New Street, Shoe Lane. His father was a jeweller.
In 1798 he was apprenticed to Thomas Hardy (Grimwade p.349) of the Clockmakers Company and free in 1807.
The marriage of Joseph Newcombe of St Bride’s to Winifred Ann Smith was held at St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney in 1810. Her sister was the wife of his brother William Henry.
Four christening records for their children at St Bride’s from 1813-23 show their father as a goldsmith from Shoe Lane.
He entered a mark at Goldsmiths Hall in 1824 in partnership with his brother William Henry as gold workers from 8 Little New Street, Shoe Lane.
Another christening record for a daughter at the same church in 1823 shows her father as a goldsmith from 56 Percival Street, Northampton Square as does the record of christening of another daughter in 1825 at St James, Clerkenwell.
The 1841 UK Census recorded him as a watch maker aged about 55 years living at 36 Long Acre.
Another christening record at St James, Clerkenwell in 1843 for a daughter born in 1823 shows their address as Camden Town and her father as a goldsmith.
There is an entry for him on page 232 of Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World.

William Henry Newcomb
He was christened at St Bride, Fleet Street in 1786, the son of Joseph (Grimwade p.367) and Rebecca Newcomb of Little New Street, Shoe Lane. His father was a jeweller.
The marriage of William Henry Newcombe of St Bride’s to Catherine Hammond Smith was held at St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney in 1812. Her sister was the wife of William Henry’s brother Joseph.
The christening records for two sons at St Andrew, Holborn in 1813 show their address as Cursitor Street and their father as a goldsmith.
He entered a mark at Goldsmiths Hall in 1824 in partnership with his brother Joseph as gold workers from 8 Little New Street, Shoe Lane.
Christening records for seven more of their children at St Bride’s from 1815-29 show their address as Little New Street and their father as a seal maker or a goldsmith.
His burial aged 44 years, late of Little New Street, was recorded at St Bride’s in 1830.

18 May 1854 Joseph Newcomb of Hounslow in the County of Middlesex Watchmaker will proved at London.

(I don't know where this gentleman fits among the Joseph Newcombs of this time, but there he is.)
